The convoy ran like crazy on the wasteland. The huge wheels and strong power finally had the opportunity to show their full potential, allowing the transport convoy to rush forward like a herd of manic rhinos. The terrain of the plain itself had no gullies, and the small
To the transport vehicle, there is no difference between pits and small ridges. They can just run over them. Although the scavengers have also prepared large obstacles such as pits, with the assistance of the transport vehicle's optical recognition system, these traps will be eliminated.
Discover it immediately and then avoid it. One car fell into it without reacting in time, but it quickly climbed out with its exaggerated off-road performance. This probably made the scavengers very angry.
Compared with the huge transport vehicles, the ordinary vehicles used by the escorts and hunters find it difficult to keep up with the team. Although they are flexible and fast, they need to constantly avoid obstacles while driving, and the bumps are enough to knock out a person's nutrient solution.
The speed could not be increased at all. The transport vehicle gradually rushed to the front, while the escorts all moved to the rear.
The guard captain is actually a little panicked now. He has been going up and down this business road for several years. Although this Yellow Sand Legion is famous and has many people, it did not have such strong firepower before? When did they have howitzers? If not
For this sudden "surprise", he would never forget to guard against roadside bombs, and Car No. 13 would not have suffered this level of damage.
Several sporadic artillery shells fell behind the convoy. The optical early warning system judged that the convoy was out of range based on the angle and direction of the artillery shells. The guard captain breathed a sigh of relief and commanded the convoy to rearrange itself into a single column through the sound and light communication system. This system is actually
The high-power speakers and high-brightness colored lights installed on the "mast" on the roof use a pre-established coding system to communicate when the radio is interfered with. The commander did not dare to turn off the jamming system before leaving the control range of the Yellow Sand Army.
No one knows if there might be a hidden roadside bomb.
Scavengers' means of transportation are generally poor, and they cannot travel very far regardless of whether they use oil or electricity, so they can only move within a certain range. If they can place traps anywhere on the trade road, then this transportation business will
There's no need to do it anymore, I can't bear it anymore.
"It's so scary! It's so scary in the wild! We didn't even see an enemy, but we were beaten so hard that we were running around! Didn't you say that the best defense is to attack? How can we attack when we can't see the enemy!"
After leaving the danger zone, Raeder began to bluster again, as if the attack was Xiao Wu's fault. The other girl was just using unreasonable troubles to cover up the fear in her heart, and did not really want to blame Xiao Wu. The child was safe
After living in a greenhouse for thirty-eight years, it was the first time in her life that she was so close to death. Although she always comforted herself that it would not matter if she died, she was actually still very scared. She had been caught before, but it was really bad this time.
The god of death is coming from the sky, and the cannonballs cannot be negotiated without eyesight!
"If you blame me, you might as well blame the guard captain. He has been in the industry for a long time and doesn't know the strength of his opponent. How can I know? This time is too strange. How can those scavengers have the ability to strike beyond visual range? Fighting in this era
Shouldn't it be close-range flat-fire vs. bombardment? A group of bandits can actually use direct fire? This is not wasteland at all, and it's not punk at all!"
Xiao Wu ignored Raeder's complaints and muttered to herself.
"What are you muttering about? What should we do next!"
"Whatever you do, just do it. We are already on the pirate ship, how can we jump off halfway?"
"Tell my father to send a plane to pick me up!"
"you sure?"
"I……"
"Are you still envious of the freedom of bounty hunters?"
"I'm not envious anymore..."
Raeder looked at the transport truck that had lost two wheels. The left front of the vehicle that was hit by the explosion was still emitting white smoke. Because its balance was damaged, the vehicle was now moved to the end of the convoy to avoid affecting the rear.
We will wait until we arrive at the temporary camp to consider repairs.
The selection of the temporary camp is actually to find the "blind spots" within the control range of the scavengers. However, such blind spots do not always exist, so when entering a relatively long section, the convoy must speed up, otherwise it may not be able to rest normally.
Fortunately, the convoy was not attacked again. Although everyone was in poor condition, due to the crazy rush before, they arrived at the temporary camp earlier than expected.
The shelling had a great impact on the guard captain, so he ordered the convoy to form a loose circular position this time, with more than thirty meters between each other to avoid being "crowded in". He was thinking about how to report this when he returned.
In this situation, it would be too bad that the scavengers have long-range strike capabilities. Even the armor of the transport vehicle is even better than that of the main battle tanks of the previous era, but it is limited to horizontal defense and can be blocked by large-caliber grenades.
I still can’t bear the initiation~ The concept of beyond-visual-range strikes has disappeared for a long time in this era, and the psychological pressure on everyone when encountering it again is very great.
Emergency workers equipped with heavy-duty industrial machinery drove multi-purpose working machines to unload huge tires from transport trucks carrying spare parts. Changing tires is a very simple matter for ordinary vehicles, but it is extremely difficult for transport vehicles.
Each of these tires is as heavy as a troop transport truck, and even emergency workers have to use other machinery to complete the replacement. In fact, according to common sense, it is basically impossible for these tires to be damaged on the road. Who knew that the scavengers actually buried them this time?
There were so many bombs, but two were destroyed at once.
Fortunately, the caravan specially arranged a unit of transport vehicles to carry maintenance supplies. Fortunately, they did not save money in this regard, otherwise there would be an additional factor of uncertainty in the convoy. Both the transport vehicles and the goods need to be protected with life.
There is no room for mistakes. The punishment of losing a few tires is acceptable. If the entire car is written off...then the guard captain can prepare to return to the dark night.
Returning to night is a euphemism for death in this era. Because the city here is always brightly lit and full of life, the permanent darkness symbolizes silent death.
“It’s so amazing~~~”
Xiao Wu lay half-ly on the driver's seat comfortably, with a pair of mechanical-style boots and beautiful legs dangling unscrupulously on the center console.
"What magic?"
Raeder turned her attention away from the sunset on the horizon and asked curiously.
"You said these cars are so big, each one must weigh thousands of tons, right? This kind of thing was definitely a joke in the previous era, but now it is not only built, but also transformed into the lifeblood of cities. But
You have obviously created such a crazy thing, but you can't even send a satellite to the sky. Don't you think the world is amazing now? In the past era, even private companies could launch rockets~~~"
"I know this, I have read the history of this! It is said that the so-called aerospace technology was controlled by a few large countries after the war started in the last era. Then as the war continued, these technologies
With the disappearance of those countries, they disappeared together, which is the so-called technological era. The predecessors of the current consortium are all enterprise groups that were very influential in the previous era. We have tried our best to retain what we can access.
Technology, but after all, the comprehensive strength cannot be compared with those countries, and the technology and resources are not enough. So history tells us that only private consortiums can give mankind a better life, and countries will not do anything else except fight wars and destroy civilization.
!”
Raeder proudly showed off her knowledge to Xiao Wu, just like a child showing off to her parents.
"So this is how your history is written~~~ That's really amazing. It's really interesting that the consortium is actually called the savior."
"Any questions!"
Raeder was a little unhappy. She always thought that her family had fed so many people in the city, which was something worthy of praise. Although the city was not beautiful enough, it was still much better than this dangerous wilderness, right? Why is Xiao Wu doing this?
Seems disdainful of this?
"It's nothing. People in the dark night area who have never seen sunlight also think the light of neon lights is natural and beautiful, right?"
"What do you mean! Tell me clearly!"
"It's not interesting. Take the time to rest. There will be more dangers waiting for us~"
